That's right. By taking on the
"MeatMonth"
challenge you will help to save genuine
factory farm animals from the hardship of being electrocuted,
crushed, tortured, skinned, abused,
drugged, minced alive, gassed and horiffically killed.

Fine, you've been vegetarian for years and "can't change". Don't
tell us you don't miss that constantly run down,
heavy,
bloated feeling you once had. We know it's tough but it's about
time you took a long hard look at yourself and riased some money for
animals for once.

Here's a reminder of the benefits of a meat and dairy based diet.
Just look at what you're missing:

Heart disease

Obesity

Cancers of the breast, prostate, colon, lung and pancreas.

Diabetes Type I & II

Gallstones

Kidney Stones

Higher blood pressure

Osteoporosis

Infantile iron deficiency anemia

Cataracts

Diarrhea

Poor digestion

IBS

Hemmoroids

Lethargy

Killing innocent beings.

Once again, cancerS.

Choking (over 90% of choking deaths are on meat).

We know what you're going to say,
"but we weren't designed to eat meat" yeah yeah whatever. Let's just
look at the so called "facts" shall we:

You say: Carnivores have their jaw pivot in
line with their sharp
teeth, to assist the cutting of meat (like scissors). Herbivores
have
their jaw pivot above their mouth to assist the grinding of plant
food
with their flat teeth to break down plant cellulose for digestion.
Herbivores can move their jaws from side to side to assist chewing,
if you can
you do this, you're a herbivore.

We say: "Whatever"

You
say: Herbivores have smaller stomachs than carnivores, an average
of 25% of gut capacity (with carnivores nearer 40%). This is to
facilitate grazing thrice daily whereas carnivores have more of a
hit
and miss success with prey, due to the nature of hunting, and need
to
eat much more food but less often. Human gut capacity puts us firmly
in the herbivore bracket. Furthermore,
carnivores don't chew food they just swallow it. Herbivores chew.
You
chew. You're a herbivore.

We say: "Pfft".

You say: The bile in a carnivore's stomach is acidic beneath the
point
of PH1, the strength of battery acid. This is in order to break down
bones
and the like. This is because, no matter how much fat and
cholesterol
carnivores eat, they never
get coronary heart disease as it's all dissolved. Herbivores have
bile acidity down to around PH4 as (chewed)
plant matter is much easier to break down. Human bile has a pH of
around
4, once again putting us firmly in the herbivore category.
Many westerners behave like carnivores. Many westerners (millions)
suffer from coronary heart disease. Is the penny dropping?

We say: "Doesn't matter".

You say: The intestines and colonic passage of a carnivore is
relatively very short. This is to assist the speedy evacuation of
digested
matter which serves no further nutritional processing. Herbivores
have
much longer apparatus (11x body length average) as digestion takes
longer and
indeed continues whilst the food passes throughout the body. Human
intestines are 10-12x body length and you can work out the rest.

We say: "There's nothing on tv these days".

You say: Predators have strong heavy set shoulders in front of a
large
rib cage for fighting (and defense) with all vital organs firmly
away
from all of the action. Humans are the total opposite and fair very badly when in combat with
wild animals (indeed relying entirely
on high velocity rifles and the like).

We say: "Years ago, there were fewer channels and
fewer ads".

You say: Despite inventing weapons thousands of years ago, as
defense
from vicious animals (genuine carnivores), and hunting smaller
animals for
hide and sport, we still have every single
anatomical trait of a herbivore. We haven't changed. We haven't
developed any "carnivorous intent" when we look at our bodies (even
thousands of years before
technology).

We say: "What about the two incisors at the front of the mouth?" At
least give us that! Come on. We all know this!

You say: These are hopeless for tearing flesh as a cutting action is
needed and our jaw doesn't facilitate it. They are also amazingly
blunt
next to those of a carnivore and are pretty much only any good for
puncturing an apple. This is why humans need razor sharp
knives to eat meat unless it has been pre-sliced, by razor
sharp knives, or subjected to very high temperature.

We say: "According to anthropology, our brain size increased since
we started eating meat".

You say: If this is true, then on the flip side, the brain hasn't
grown
since. So that benefit must be long gone? Ironically, this sizing,
if
it is
down to meat, has given us the consciousness to question it's
validity
and if any benefits really have been realised since, which as the
above
suggests seems to be not the case. Also, looking at dietary
studies of yore, some
prehistoric species stuck approximately to the Mediterranean diet
(shown)
and ate meat at best very rarely. A lot of effort to hunt, catch,
prepare and cook, but animal hide was useful for clothing etc.
Largely
as a gesture to meat eaters whining (just as much as veggies do)
meat
is given what seems a bit of a token entry at the top of the
pyramid.

We say: "They're trying to do the same with radio now. Ads all day
every day".

You say: Carnivores use muscles to stay upright and are always
"sprung"
ready for action, with their heels much further up their legs and
the like.
This muscle usage is very
tiring and carnivores will lay down at any opportunity to conserve
energy. Herbivores rely on their skeleton for staying upright and
some
herbivores (cows, horses, elephants) are so effective at doing this
they can even sleep standing up, such is
the skeletal significance of herbivores. Humans can stand for a long
time, and also
walk for a long while, often relying on gravity for the continuous
swing of their legs due to their relatively heavy skeletal weight.
Have a guess which category we lean towards.

We say: "Don't buy a DAB radio. They're trying to do to radio what
they did with tv".

You say: In all studies (look online there are hundreds) they all categorically show
health benefits of a vegetarian diet and even higher benefits of a
Vegan diet.

We say: "OK veggie, fine, but vegan?? God we'd miss the cheese!"

You say: Every single part of cheese comes
from a miserable animal. Remember how cheese is made. Milk
left at room temperature to curdle mixed with
rennet (an enzyme from the inner lining of a calfs stomach).
The amount
of this absurd enzyme influences the taste and texture of the
cheese.
Mozzarella is spongy for a reason. However, vegan cheese exists
that's wholesome, appetising and cheap. It also
exists in
styles that mirror common dairy alfternatives (cheddar slices,
leicester, mozerella, edam etc). Yes, there's also vegan cheesecake
too
(and even vegan milk chocolate).

We say: "You've mentioned chocolate, you must be a woman?".

You say: No, I'm a regular guy. I dress regularly, I don't go for
the
tie-dye crap and dreadlocks. There's no need. Life goes on.

We say: "Going back to tv's, why even have a visual volume
indicator? Just listen to
it getting louder".

You say: 58 000 000 000 animals per year. Fifty eight billion.
Are killed for the convenience
of well under seven billion people. And it's solely for convenience.
Nutritionally meat sucks. It's highly acidic and superb proteins can
be
found in greater abundance and with much easier dietary extraction,
in plants.

We say: "la la la"

You say: Environmentally; 58 000 000 000 animals, considering area
of
land given to crop growing for them to eat, plus transportation,
processing, animal waste, consumption, disposal and everything else
makes a mockery of changing your light bulbs in your house and
recycling. This is by far the biggest global contributor and
changing
to a hybrid car is a joke stood next to it. Plus, a field full of
plants
absorbs pollution (and looks a lot nicer) than a field full of
factories causing this pollution.

We say: "blah blah blah"

You say: With beef, it takes at least 6kg of crops to produce 1kg of
meat.
It's an incredibly inefficient model and it also sees many people in
the world going hungry as a result. Half of the world is starving
and the other half is overweight.

We say: "So what , we like the taste". Get out of that!

You say: In blind tests, quality
veggie burgers often come out on top, you also feel less bloated
afterwards and your body processes it much easier.

We say: "Veggie sausages are decent too but so what we have to shop
elsewhere to get them".

You say: They're in most supermarkets. Besides, with 58 billion
animals involved, someone, somewhere is making
an awful lot of money. The
entire industry is to serve the profit
margins of the few. There is plenty
of money in growing wholesome sustainable alternatives (the proof
being
the rapidly growing market share of these items) but the frightening
deaths and constant torment of billions of
animals worldwide is done purely to line the pockets of the
corporations and the policymakers (who in turn then bully the
farmers into debt etc). It's big business at the top.

We say: "We agree, but we can't be bothered to do anything about it.
Anyway our parents
brought us up to eat meat, our food trips
out were to eat meat, our family life is around eating meat".

You say: It's not, it's around eating but not necessarily meat, that
was forced upon you. Also,
people are allowed to get it wrong. Many parents just followed their
parents like you followed yours. Earlier you mentioned too many ads
on tv.
An awful lot of them are from the meat and dairy industries? Think
for a moment how
many tv ads are for meat. An easy cling-filmed container and a
smiling cartoon animal and everyone's fooled. Your parents
were no different and neither were mine. At one point the human race
said the
earth was flat. Society changes, progress gets made. Look forward
not back.

Also, it's been said that if
abbatoirs had glass walls then everybody would be change. Indeed,
this was the title of a PETA documentary. Some animals are now
grown so fat so soon they are more
fat than protein and can't
even stand up.Here's the
clip, and this is tame next to some of them, what do you
think?

You say: 'Horses are beautiful sentient animals with a joy for life
-
but so are cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys and all
other animals'.
Picture a horse tied up by one leg, in pain, wide eyed in fear as
she
watches the girl in front having her throat slit and knowing she's
next,
puffing her cheeks out and kicking and squealing to escape. And for
what, a f******g Findus ready meal?

We say: "That's no end for any animal"

You say: That's the end for MOST
animals. Furthermore, factory farming is so treacherous and corrupt
it's one scandal
after another. If it's not mad cow disease it's foot and mouth. If
it's
not foot and mouth it's
salmonella. If it's not salmonella it's horsemeat. There'll be
another
right along soon and we'll find a way to be quickly outraged before
going right back. There's just too much money in keeping us hooked
and the
good old government will "reassure" us. The cruel leading the
blind.

We say: "What about economic
concerns, local jobs and all that?"

You say: There would be just as
many jobs if not more. Besides, the people who work in meat
processing facilities largely tend to be either arseholes or
people forced into it illegally by the companies.

We say: "What about the uneducated? The neglected masses of society?
The football hooligans, the yobs, the criminals and the murderers?"

You say: The
ability to fight, kidnap, strangle, abuse, torture and murder
couldn't
be easier on a meat free diet. You'll have much more energy to cope
with the struggle and
you'll be able to outrun anyone who tries to escape. You'll also get
grief from friends who will mock your lifestyle but it is worth
remembering that these people make ideal victims.

We say: "Where are you getting all this info from anyway?"

You say: Largely rigorous logic, although even mild research online
will yield similar results (and video sites are flooded with
scientific
accounts of plant based diets being the way forward).
This video from Dr Milton Mills is particularly good and is the
reference for many points mentioned here:

You
say: Only just and I feel superb. Although it's clearly
affected me mentally enough to interview myself on a website (and
wow, it's now three years!).
However, by far the
easiest transistion to make is from eating meat to not eating
meat.
Consider a full sunday roast, maybe ten items on your plate. As
soon as you take that piece
of meat off it's veggie. One
item. One. For each meal just think "what item will I replace?"
rather than "what meals will I have!?!" and the transition is easy
there's nothing to it.
It also opens up a whole other world of flavours, recipes and heath
kicks. Again it's a
step forward not back.

We say: "Now you put it like that it does seem pretty simple. Vegan
though! How hard is that!?"

You say: At first it can be difficult if only from a debilitating
detox
period and barely any sleep, although many people find it easy. It's
not exactly impossible but it's a total
lifestyle change and you have to look at everything differently at
first but
there's little to lose and lots to gain. An abundance of
health food shops makes
it much easier (not to mention market stalls too).

We say: "Veggie seems the way to go at first surely?"

You say: True enough, but aren't you losing sight of the point of
MeatMonth? Although now you say it there are dozens of other
anatomical
reasons never mind
ethical reasons to give it a go. Look around the internet. But the
fact
remains that the major
cause of death in the west is cardiovascular disease and cancer, and
abundant medical research overwhelmingly links these diseases to
dietary and lifestyle
factors. Even the most hardcore meat lovers can't defend it on those
grounds. You may as well smoke. In light of all this many other
findings have been made and on
the whole, the
fruit, veg, pulse, nut, grain and seed eaters tend to significantly
have:

Less heart disease

Less than 50% reduction in all-cause cancer mortality

Lower blood pressure

Reduced risk of stroke

Less overweight

Look (much) younger

Less chronic disease

Lower incidence of diabetes

Greater longevity/live longer

Increased levels of energy (much better in bed/fighting)

High levels of natural antioxidants

Greater sense of wellbeing

Reduced impact on
plants (strange but true).

Compare this list to the bullet points at the top of the page.

Also, non dairy babies rarely ever get colic etc.

Many drug users have a kinship with their dealer. This is the
consumer
and the meat industry. "How can they possibly put their interests
before
mine, we're buddies, we trust them, everybody
eats it" It's more profitable to trap an
animal in a pen and submit it to a life of total cruelty at the
expense
of our health and spend the profits on relentless ads telling us how
great it all is, than actually farm something good. In the end the people doing it are
the
animals.

In fact let's go further. Cancer is caused
from the trauma locked into the tissues of repeatedly abused and
heavily drugged animals
which people eat three times a day against the wishes of their own
anatomy. In contrast, look at vegan cancer rates.

We say: "So you're a whiny preachy little f****r now?".

You say: Nobody's perfect. I'd say people who suffer from stress are
also a cancer risk as they effectively poison themselves, it's
self inflicted trauma that one and needs to be looked at.

We say: "We like what you did with "the
people doing it are the animals" but forget all that,
MeatMonth!!"

..and this.

..and eat this!
Look at all that variety! Wow.

Skulls. Clearly.

Speaks volumes (pun intended).

Eating meat and dairy only "a few times per month" is
more than enough, per
MONTH ffs. Westerners eat it every
meal of every dayand
in most snacks.It's also
injected with dyes so it looks fresher than it is.

Vegan chocolate? The good brands are anyway (cocoa is
a bean remember).

Many regular guys are veggie. No dreadlocks. No
knitted wellies. No problem.

Global warming. Meat production and consumption trumps
all.

A quality
veggie burger. A consistent winner in taste tests.

The
smiling cartoons on the packets fooled us all as kids way into
adulthood. The calves at the top
can't even turn around enough to see their own bodies. They are
often
kept on floors made from metal tubes too (so they can't stand
up) to
make their flesh more tender for the incredibly cruel veal
industry.Look at the TRAYS of
the chicks in the middle kept in the dark. All males of all
species are killed like
this (usually gassed or crushed (alive)) as the females can be
worked harder and artificially impregnated
many many times before they end up killed in the same way. Some
thanks.Cows, trustee fellow mammals, don't want a life like
this...They
want this. Strung up. Throats slit. They all kick (they know
what's going on). Their trauma is locked into their flesh, it
has to be.
This process is the same for pigs, chickens, turkeys and even
horses."I can't look at it I
can't look at it".. You CAUSE it :o(

Here's ALDI only this morning. A huge full colour 8
page booklet devoted to meat sent in a huge reassurance campaign
by
post throughout the country. F*ck good health meat is just too
profitable, got to get us right back where they need us and
fast. And
it's working.Clock how many ads
for meat are on tv too.

Arsehole worker stamping on a turkey's head "for a
laugh".

Another arsehole worker clubbing an animal only HALF
to death "for a laugh".

The bottom line. You're health simply doesn't
come into it. As with arms deals there's just too much money in
killing. Where does all the money come from? ... You :o( The
farmers aren't trying
to be cruel, they HAVE to be cruel or there's no money in it!

Put "factory farming" in a search engine.

Oh and "free range" can be a load of bullshit too.

Meat Month! Quotes:

appalling. I've a headache worse than any hangover".

“I never
though that poisoning my body for a month would make me feel
so bad”.

“I went back to eating beef for one
